Many people suffer from chronic pelvic pain, but it's drastically underreported due to issues like social taboo, shame and privacy concerns. There is also a lack of integrated medical and rehabilitative services for persistent pelvic pain, leaving many pain sufferers without the answers they need. While pelvic pain covers many diagnoses and can have orthopedic, gynecological, gastrointestinal, urological and neuropathic considerations, there is one common link—the pain system.

Tissues generally heal within three to six months. Pain that lasts beyond the normal healing period is more likely due to an extra-sensitive nervous system and how your brain processes information from the body and environment. Yes, the tissues need to be treated, but they're not the only contributor to your pain. Learn about your pelvic pain—research shows that you'll function better, move more easily and experience less pain.
